BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to novel compounds that function asproteolytic enzyme inhibitors, and particularly to a new class ofthrombin inhibitors.

[0004] 2. Related Art

[0005] Proteases are enzymes that cleave proteins at single, specificpeptide bonds. Proteases can be classified into four generic classes:serine, thiol or cysteinyl, acid or aspartyl, and metalloproteases(Cuypers et al., J. Biol. Chem. 257:7086 (1982)). Proteases areessential to a variety of biological activities, such as digestion,formation and dissolution of blood clots, reproduction and the immunereaction to foreign cells and organisms. Aberrant proteolysis isassociated with a number of disease states in man and other mammals. Thehuman neutrophil proteases, elastase and cathepsin G, have beenimplicated as contributing to disease states marked by tissuedestruction. These disease states include emphysema, rheumatoidarthritis, corneal ulcers and glomerular nephritis. (Barret, in EnzymeInhibitors as Drugs, Sandler, ed., University Park Press, Baltimore,(1980)). Additional proteases such as plasmin, C-1 esterase, C-3convertase, urokinase, plasminogen activator, acrosin, and kallikreinsplay key roles in normal biological functions of mammals. In manyinstances, it is beneficial to disrupt the function of one or moreproteolytic enzymes in the course of therapeutically treating a mammal.

[0006] Serine proteases include such enzymes as elastase (humanleukocyte), cathepsin G, plasmin, C-1 esterase, C-3 convertase,urokinase, plasminogen activator, acrosin, chymotrypsin, trypsin,thrombin, factor Xa and kallikreins.

[0007] Human leukocyte elastase is released by polymorphonuclearleukocytes at sites of inflammation and thus is a contributing cause fora number of disease states. Cathepsin G is another human neutrophilserine protease. Compounds with the ability to inhibit the activity ofthese enzymes are expected to have an anti-inflammatory effect useful inthe treatment of gout, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatorydiseases, and in the treatment of emphysema. Chymotrypsin and trypsinare digestive enzymes. Inhibitors of these enzymes are useful intreating pancreatitis. Inhibitors of urokinase and plasminogen activatorare useful in treating excessive cell growth disease states, such asbenign prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic carcinoma and psoriasis.

[0008] The serine protease thrombin occupies a central role inhemostasis and thrombosis, and as a multifactorial protein, induces anumber of effects on platelets, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells,leukocytes, the heart, and neurons. Activation of the coagulationcascade through either the intrinsic pathway (contact activation) or theextrinsic pathway (activation by exposure of plasma to a non-endothelialsurface, damage to vessel walls or tissue factor release) leads to aseries of biochemical events that converge on thrombin. Thrombin cleavesfibrinogen ultimately leading to a hemostatic plug (clot formation),potently activates platelets through a unique proteolytic cleavage ofthe cell surface thrombin receptor (Coughlin, Seminars in Hematology31(4):270-277 (1994)), and autoamplifies its own production through afeedback mechanism. Thus, inhibitors of thrombin function havetherapeutic potential in a host of cardiovascular and non-cardiovasculardiseases.

[0009] Factor Xa is another serine protease in the coagulation pathway.Factor Xa associates with factor Va and calcium on a phospholipidmembrane thereby forming a prothrombinase complex. This prothrombinasecomplex then converts prothrombin to thrombin (Claeson, BloodCoagulation and Fibrinolysis 5:411-436 (1994); Harker, Blood Coagulationand Fibrinolysis 5 (Suppl 1):S47-S58 (1994)). Inhibitors of factor Xaare thought to offer an advantage over agents that directly inhibitthrombin since direct thrombin inhibitors still permit significant newthrombin generation (Lefkovits and Topol, Circulation 90(3):1522-1536(1994); Harker, Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis 5 (Suppl 1):S47-S58(1994)).

[0010] In vivo diagnostic imaging methods for intravascular thrombi havebeen previously reported. These imaging methods use compounds that aredetectably labeled with radioactive or paramagnetic atoms. For example,platelets labeled with the gamma emitter, In-111, can be employed as animaging agent for detecting thrombi (Thakur, M. L. et al., Thromb Res.9:345 (1976); Powers et al, Neurology 32:938 (1982)). The thrombolyticenzyme streptokinase labeled with Tc-99m has been proposed as an imagingagent (Wong, U.S. Pat. No. 4,418,052 (1983)). The fibrin-binding domainsof Staphylococcus aureus derived protein A labeled with the gammaemitters, I-125 and I-131, have been proposed as imaging agents (Pang,U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,686 (1991)). Monoclonal antibodies havingspecificity for fibrin (in contrast to fibrinogen) and labeled withTc-99m have been proposed as imaging agents (Berger et al., U.S. Pat.No. 5,024,829 (1991); Dean et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,980,148 (1990)). Theuse of the paramagnetic contrasting agent, gadoliniumdiethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid in magnetic resonance imaging ofpatients treated by thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction hasbeen reported (De Roos, A. et al., Int. J. Card Imaging 7:133 (1991)).Radiolabeled and paramagnetically labeled alpha-ketoamide derivativeshave also been proposed as thrombus imaging agents (Abelman et al., U.S.Pat. No. 5,656,600).

[0031] A need continues to exist for non-peptidic compounds that arepotent and selective protease inhibitors, and which possess greaterbioavailability and fewer side-effects than currently available proteaseinhibitors.

[0212] It is also to be understood that the present invention isconsidered to include stereoisomers as well as optical isomers, e.g.mixtures of enantiomers as well as individual enantiomers anddiastereomers, which arise as a consequence of structural asymmetry inselected compounds of the present series.

[0213] The compounds of Formula VII may also be solvated, especiallyhydrated. Hydration may occur during manufacturing of the compounds orcompositions comprising the compounds, or the hydration may occur overtime due to the hygroscopic nature of the compounds.

[0214] Certain compounds within the scope of Formula VII are derivativesreferred to as prodrugs. The expression “prodrug” denotes a derivativeof a known direct acting drug, which derivative has enhanced deliverycharacteristics and therapeutic value as compared to the drug, and istransformed into the active drug by an enzymatic or chemical process.Useful prodrugs are those where R^(a), R^(b) and/or R^(c) are —CO₂R^(w),where R^(w) is defined above. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,466,811 and Saulnieret al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4:1985-1990 (1994).

[0215] When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent orin Formula VII, its definition on each occurrence is independent of itsdefinition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituentsand/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result instable compounds.

[0216] In another aspect, the present invention includes compositionswhich are useful for in vivo imaging of thrombi in a mammal, comprisinga compound of the present invention which is capable of being detectedoutside the body. Preferred are compositions comprising a compound ofthe present invention and a detectable label, such as a radioactive orparamagnetic atom.

[0217] In another aspect, the present invention includes methods whichare useful for in vivo imaging or thrombi in a mammal.

[0218] According to a preferred aspect, useful compounds are thosewherein the R¹ substituent is substituted with a detectable label, suchas a radioactive iodine atom, such as I-125, I-131 or I-123. In thisaspect, R¹ is preferably phenyl, having a para I-123, para I-125 or paraI-131 substitution; or benzyl, having a meta I-123, meta I-125 or metaI-131 substitution.

[0219] The detectable label can also be a radioactive or paramagneticchelate in which a suitable ligand (L) is attached to an R¹ substituent,either directly or via a divalent linking group A″. Alternatively, thegroup —A″—L substitutes for the groups —Z—R¹in Formula VII. By suitableligand is meant an organic moiety that is capable of chelating aradioactive or paramagnetic metal ion.

[0220] In these compounds, the divalent linking group A″ includes groupsthat are capable of covalently bonding with a free amino group and thechelating means. For example, A″ may be —C(═S)—, —C(═O)—,—C(═NH)—(CH₂)₆—C(═NH)—, —(═O)—(CH₂)₆—C(═O)—,

[0221] and the like.

[0222] Also, in the compounds represented by Formula VII, the chelatingligand, L, includes groups capable of covalently bonding to ornoncovalently binding to either a radioactive or paramagnetic atom. Thechelating means including those which are customarily used forcomplexing radioactive or paramagnetic atoms. These include chelatingmeans containing 3 to 12, preferably 3 to 8, methylene phosphonic acidgroups, methylene carbohydroxamic acid groups, carboxyethylidene groups,or especially carboxymethylene groups, which are bonded to a nitrogenatom. If only one or two of the acid groups are bonded to a nitrogenatom, then that nitrogen is bonded to another nitrogen atom having suchgroups by an optionally substituted ethylene groups or by up to fourseparated ethylene units separated by a nitrogen or oxygen or sulfuratom. Preferred as a completing means isdiethylenetrimine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetic acid (DTPA). DTPA is wellknown in the art as a chelating means for the radioactive atomindium-111 (In-111), technetium-99 m (Tc-99 m), and the paramagneticatom gadolinium (Gd). Khaw, et al., Science 209:295 (1980); Paik C. H.et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,652,440 (1987); Gries, H. et al, U.S. Pat. No.4,957,939 (1990). A preferred chelating ligand, L, is1-(p-aminobenzyl)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. Also included aschelating means are compounds which contain sulfhydryl or aminemoieties, the total of which in any combination is at least four. Thesesulfhydryl or amine moieties are separated from each other by at leasttwo atoms which can be either carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.Especially preferred for chelating means, L, is metallothionein which iswell known in the art as a chelating means for Tc-99 m.

[0223] The term “alkyl” as employed herein by itself or as part ofanother group refers to both straight and branched chain radicals of upto 12 carbons, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, t-butyl,isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, isohexyl, heptyl, 4,4-dimethylpentyl, octyl,2,2,4-trimethylpentyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl.

[0224] The term “alkenyl” is used herein to mean a straight or branchedchain radical of 2-20 carbon atoms, unless the chain length is limitedthereto, including, but not limited to, ethenyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl,2-methyl-1-propenyl, 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, and the like. Preferably, thealkenyl chain is 2 to 10 carbon atoms in length, more preferably, 2 to 8carbon atoms in length most preferably from 2 to 4 carbon atoms inlength.

[0225] The term “alkynyl” is used herein to mean a straight or branchedchain radical of 2-20 carbon atoms, unless the chain length is limitedthereto, wherein there is at least one triple bond between two of thecarbon atoms in the chain, including, but not limited to, acetylene,1-propylene, 2-propylene, and the like.

[0275] Compounds of Formula VII can be labeled with radioactive iodineas described below in Example 3 or by using an exchange reactionExchange of hot iodine for cold iodine is well known in the art.Alternatively, a radio iodine labeled compound can be prepared from thecorresponding bromo compound via a tributylstannyl intermediate. See,U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,361, herein incorporated by reference.

[0276] The present invention also includes compositions which are usefulfor in vivo imaging of thrombi in a mammal, wherein the compositions arecomprised of a compound of Formula VII complexed with a radioactiveatom.

[0277] For the compounds of Formula VII, suitable radioactive atomsinclude Co-57, Cu-67, Ga-67, Ga-68, Ru-97, Tc-99m, In-111, In-113m,Hg-197, Au-198, and Pb-203. In particular, technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is anideal radioactive atom for imaging because of its nuclear properties. Itis a gamma emitter and has a single photon energy of 140 keV, ahalf-life of about 6 hours, and it is readily available from aMo-99/Tc-99 generator. Rhenium-186 and -188 also have gamma emissionwhich allows them to be imaged. Preferred compositions contain theradioactive atom, Tc-99m.

[0278] Compositions of the present invention are conveniently preparedby completing a compound of Formula VII with radioisotopes which aresuitable for detection externally.

[0279] The compounds of Formula VII can be labeled by any of the manytechniques known in the art to provide a composition of the presentinvention. For example, these compounds can be labeled through achelating agent such as diethylene-triaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) ormetallothionein, both of which can be covalently attached to thecompound of Formula VII.

[0280] In general, the compositions of the present invention containingtechnetium-99m are prepared by forming an aqueous mixture oftechnetium-99m and a reducing agent and a water-soluble ligand, and thencontacting the mixture with a compound of the present inventionrepresented by Formula VII. For example, the imaging compounds of thisinvention are made by reacting technetium-99m (in an oxidized state)with the compounds of the present invention having a chelating means inthe presence of a reducing agent to form a stable complex betweentechnetium-99m in a reduced state (IV or V valence state).

[0281] One embodiment of the composition of the present invention isprepared by labeling a compound of Formula VII having a DTPA chelatingmeans with technetium-99m. This may be accomplished by combining apredetermined amount (as 5 μg to 0.5 mg) of compound of the presentinvention with an aqueous solution containing citrate buffer andstannous reducing agent, then adding freshly eluted sodium pertechnetatecontaining a predetermined level of radioactivity (as 15 mCi). Afterallowing an incubation of the mixture at room temperature, the reactionmixture is loaded into a shielded syringe through a sterile filter(0.2-0.22 micron), then is dispensed into 0.9% saline for injection, ifdesired.

[0282] Another embodiment of the compositions of the present inventionis prepared by labeling a compound of Formula VII having ametallothionein chelating means with technetium-99m. This may beaccomplished by combining aqueous sodium pertechnetate-99m with aqueousstannous glucoheptonate to form a soluble complex of technetium-99m (inreduced state) with two glucoheptonate molecules, then combining thissolution with a compound of the Formula VII having a metallothioneinattached thereto. After incubating the mixture for a period of time andunder conditions which allow for an exchange of the technetium-99m fromthe glucoheptonate complex to the metallothionein of the, compound ofFormula VII, the technetium-labeled composition of the present inventionis formed.

[0283] The source of technetium-99m should preferably be water soluble.Preferred sources are alkali and alkaline earth metal pertechnetate(TcO₄ ⁻). Technetium-99m is most preferably obtained in the form offresh sodium pertechnetate from a sterile technetium-99m generator (asfrom a conventional Mo-99/Tc-99m generator). However, any other sourceof physiologically acceptable technetium-99m may be used.

[0284] Reducing agents for use in the method are physiologicallyacceptable for reducing technetium-99m from its oxidized state to the IVor V valence state or for reducing rhenium from its oxidized state.Reducing agents which can be used are stannous chloride, stannousfluoride, stannous glucoheptonate, stannous tartarate, and sodiumdithionite. The preferred agents are stannous reducing agents,especially stannous chloride or stannous glucoheptonate. For example,stannous chloride (SnCl₂) is the reducing agent and can be used in rangefrom 1-1,000 μg/mL. Especially preferred concentrations are about 30-500μg/mL.

[0285] Citric acid complexes with technetium-99m to quickly form astable technetium-99m-citrate complex. Upon contact with a compound ofFormula VII, substantially quantitative transfer of technetium-99m fromits citrate complex to the chelating means of the compound of FormulaVII is achieved rapidly and under mild conditions. The amount of citricacid (as sodium citrate) can range from about 0.5 mg/ml up to the amountmaximally soluble in the medium. Preferred amounts of citric acid rangefrom 15 to 30 μg/ml.

[0286] The amount of compound of Formula VII having a chelating meanscan range from 0.001 to about 3 mg/mL, preferably about 0.017 to about0.15 mg/mL. Finally, technetium-99m in the form of pertechnetate can beused in amounts of preferably about 1-50 mCi. The amount of mCi per mgof compound of the present invention is preferably about 30-150.

[0287] Alternative compositions of the present invention include anIn-111 labeled compound of the present invention.

[0288] The present invention also includes compositions of the compoundsof the present invention which are useful for in vivo imaging of thrombiin a mammal, comprised of a compound represented by Formula VIIcomplexed to a paramagnetic atom.

[0289] Preferred paramagnetic atoms are divalent or trivalent ions ofelements with an atomic number of 21 to 29, 42, 44 and 58 to 70.Suitable ions include chromium(III), manganese(II), iron(III), iron(II),cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), praseodymium(III), neodymium(III),samarium(III) and ytterbium(III). Because of their very strong magneticmoments, gadolinium(III), terbium(III), dysoprosium(III), holmium(III),and erbium(III) are preferred. Especially preferred for the paramagneticatom is gadolinium(III).

[0290] The compositions of the present invention may be prepared bycombining a compound of Formula VII with a paramagnetic atom. Forexample, the metal oxide or a metal salt (for example, nitrate, chlorideor sulfate) of a suitable paramagnetic atom is dissolved or suspended ina medium comprised of water and an alcohol, such as methyl, ethyl orisopropyl alcohol. This mixture is added to a solution of an equimolaramount of the compound of Formula VII in a similar aqueous medium andstirred. The reaction mixture may be heated moderately until thereaction is completed. Insoluble compositions formed may be isolated byfiltering, while soluble compositions may be isolated by evaporation ofthe solvent. If acid groups on the chelating means are still present inthe composition of the present invention, inorganic or organic bases,and even amino acids, may be added to convert the acidic complex into aneutral complex to facilitate isolation or purification of homogenouscomposition. Organic bases or basic amino acids may be used asneutralizing agents, as well as inorganic bases such as hydroxides,carbonates or bicarbonates of sodium, potassium or lithium.

[0291] The present invention also include diagnostic compositions whichare useful for in vivo imaging of thrombi in a mammal, comprising apharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a diagnostically effectiveamount of a radiolabeled compound of Formula VII. Compositions such asthose described above may be conveniently used in these diagnosticcompositions.

[0292] The “diagnostically effective amount” of the composition requiredas a dose will depend on the route of administration, the type of mammalbeing treated, and the physical characteristics of the specific mammalunder consideration. These factors and their relationship to determiningthis dose are well known to skilled practitioners in the medialdiagnostic arts. Also, the diagnostically effective amount and method ofadministration can be tailored to achieve optimal efficacy but willdepend on such factors as weight, diet, concurrent medication and otherfactors which those skilled in the medical arts will recognize. In anyregard, the dose for imaging should be sufficient for detecting thepresence of the imaging agent at the site of a thrombus in question.Typically, radiologic imaging will require that the dose provided by thepharmaceutical composition position of the present invention be about 5to 20 μCi, preferably about 10 μCi. Magnetic resonance imaging willrequire that the dose provided be about 0.001 to 5 mmole/kg, preferablyabout 0.005 to 0.5 mmole/kg of a compound of Formula VII complexed withparamagnetic atom. In either case, it is known in the art that theactual dose will depend on the location of the thrombus.

[0293] “Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers” for in vivo use are wellknown in the pharmaceutical art, and are described, for example, inRemington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co. (A. R. Gennaroedit. 1985).

[0294] The present invention also encompasses diagnostic compositionsprepared for storage or administration. These would additionally containpreservatives, stabilizers and dyes. For example, sodium benzoate,sorbic acid and esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid may be added aspreservatives. Id. At 1449. In addition, antioxidants and suspendingagents may be used.

[0295] The in vivo imaging methods of the present invention also offerseveral advantages over previous imaging techniques for the detection ormonitoring of the presence, size, regression or increase of a thrombus.In particular, the present invention provides compounds, compositionsand diagnostic compositions have been designed to bind extremely tightlyto th thrombin associated with a thrombus and thereby reduce“background” due to circulating radioactivity or paramagnetism arisingfrom unbound imaging agent. Furthermore, in vivo imaging byintracoronary injection of the compounds, compositions or diagnosticcompositions of the present invention, is expected to be almostinstantaneous since these imaging agents would saturate the thrombinbound to the thrombus immediately.

[0296] Accordingly, the present invention also includes methods for invivo imaging of a thrombus in a mammal, comprising the steps of: (1)administering to a mammal a diagnostically acceptable amount of acompound, composition, or diagnostic composition of the presentinvention and (2) detecting a thrombus in a blood vessel.

[0297] In employing the compounds, compositions or diagnosticcompositions in vivo by this method, “administering” is accomplishedparenterally, in either a systemic or local targeted manner. Systemicadministration is accomplished by injecting the compounds, compositionsby diagnostic compositions of the present invention into a convenientand accessible vein or artery. This includes but is not limited toadministration by the ankecubutal vein. Local targeted administration isaccomplished by injecting the compounds, compositions or diagnosticcompositions of the present invention proximal in flow to a vein orartery suspected to contain thrombi distal to the injection site. Thisincludes but is not limited to direct injection into the coronaryarterial vasculature to image coronary thrombi, into the carotid arteryto image thrombi in the cerebral vasculature, or into a pedal vein toimage deep vein thrombosis of the leg.

[0298] Also, the manner of delivery of a composition of the presentinvention to the site of a thrombus is considered within the scope ofthe term “administering”. For example, a compound represented by FormulaVII having a chelating means attached thereto may be injected into themammal, followed at a later time by the radioactive atom thereby formingin vivo at the site of the thrombus the composition comprising thecompound of formula complexed to radioactive atom. Alternatively, acomposition comprising the compound of formula complexed to radioactiveatom may be injected into the mammal.

[0299] The detecting of a thrombus by imaging is made possible by thepresence of radioactive or paramagnetic atoms localized at suchthrombus.

[0300] The radioactive atoms associated with the compositions anddiagnostic compositions of the present invention are preferably imagedusing a radiation detection means capable of detecting gamma radiation,such as a gamma camera or the like. Typically, radiation imaging camerasemploy a conversion medium (wherein the high energy gamma ray isabsorbed, displacing an electron which emits a photon upon its return tothe orbital state), photoelectric detectors arranged in a spatialdetection chamber (to determine the position of the emitted photons),and circuitry to analyze the photons detected in the chamber and producean image.

[0301] The paramagnetic atoms associated with the compositions anddiagnostic compositions of the present invention are detected inmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. In such systems, a strongmagnetic field is used to align the nuclear spin vectors of the atoms ina patient's body. The field is disturbed by the presence of paramagneticatoms localized at a thrombus and an image of the patient is read as thenuclei return to their equilibrium alignments.

[0302] The following examples are illustrative, but not limiting, of themethod and compositions of the present invention. Other suitablemodifications and adaptations of the variety of conditions andparameters normally encountered and obvious to those skilled in th artare within the spirit and scope of the invention.
